One of the biggest questions surrounding the Green Bay Packers’ roster leading up to Sunday’s game with the Seattle Seahawks was how the team would handle the linebacker unit. Nick Perry was injured last week and was out for the game, and Clay Matthews came in limited with his shoulder injury once again; with the team often lining up “elephant” ends Julius Peppers and Datone Jones at both outside linebacker and as interior pass rushers, how would the team divide up the snaps on the edge?
As it turned out, those two players wound up staying on the edge almost entirely, opening up an opportunity for rookie Dean Lowry to shoulder a heavy load on the line.
